This used to be a mom blog that I wrote for sh*ts and giggles. Now-a-days, this is a way to document my son Ari's battle with T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He's going to kick cancer's tushie! But until the day comes when he's officially cured of the disease, check here for updates on his health and progress.

Brookline resident Toy Ferret, 3 months, died April 24th, 2012 at his home in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Toy ferret was born in China to parents with the same names. He moved to an orphanage in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts as a newborn and was adopted soon thereafter.

Toy lived a short but vivacious life. He had boundless energy and a true joie de vivre. He loved to roll around the house and buzz around the hardwood floors. His big brother Ari spent hours chasing Toy and trying to pick him up and hold him. Toy never complained, rather, seemed to revel in the attention. The two were best friends.

Toy suffered a tragic end to his short life when Toy's mother, plagued with a splitting headache, was heard yelling, "I can no longer deal with this annoying Toy. He never stops. I can't take it anymore." And with that, she tried to give Toy a short rest but accidentally injured Toy's internal organs making it impossible for Toy to regain his strength. The family determined it would be in Toy's best interests to keep him out of medical care and simply pull the plug battery.

He is survived by his brother Ari, his parents, and his many fellow annoying battery-operated toddler toys.
